About this course

Understanding Principles of Statistics for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Principles of Statistics?

Principles of Statistics is an introduction to how people collect, summarize, and interpret data. It covers the basic ideas behind surveys and experiments, how to read graphs and tables, and how to use probability to make sense of uncertainty. Students also learn how to work with common distributions, confidence intervals, and sample sizes.

How the course teaches you

Principles of Statistics is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam, so students should expect steady work rather than a single checkpoint. After successful completion, the transcript can be sent to CrestPoint University, where the course is recognized as MAT-102 – Introduction to Probability and Statistics.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills from this course help students make sense of data in everyday work, from reading tables and graphs to understanding uncertainty and comparing options. At CrestPoint, that matters for degree paths such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies and the Bachelor of Business Administration, where statistical reasoning can support research, reporting, and decision-making.

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

Once you complete the course, the transcript is sent for review and CrestPoint University applies the credit as MAT-102 – Introduction to Probability and Statistics under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study. Because this is a named course equivalency, it maps directly to a specific catalog course rather than serving as general elective credit. That can help keep your degree plan aligned in programs like the Associate of Paralegal Studies or Bachelor of Business Administration, while still leaving room under CrestPoint’s 72-credit transfer ceiling. CrestPoint also accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP, but this course has its own assigned CrestPoint equivalent.

Who this course is for

This course fits students who want a CrestPoint-recognized statistics course and need the named equivalency MAT-102 – Introduction to Probability and Statistics to move ahead in their plan. It can be a practical choice for adults balancing school with other responsibilities, students returning to finish a degree, and those looking to use transfer credit efficiently within CrestPoint’s 72-credit limit.
